Folk magazine about past and present, from freak folk to minstrels.
This time attention for Arctic Accents, the collective name for performances of Finnish bands and acts at the end of 2011 in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. You will hear the inimitable, epic pop by Rubik, higher accordion art by Kimmo Pohjonen, folkhop by Paleface, guitar ambient by Kalle Kalima and a poppy interpretation of Indian music by LCMDF – and much more of course. The latest from the North!
